'Crikey' we went to the Australia Zoo last Tuesday. What a day it was the man himself, Steve Irwin, was there!! At 10.30 the action began in the Crocoseum where we watched snake shows, tiger and bird shows and then Steve came out for the croc show. He didn't let us down, he had Mossman the croc who was one of the biggest and badest croc's at the Zoo, snapping his jaw at the food he dangled in front of him.

Goodday from the bush, Yesterday (sat) we went for a walk over the Carlo Sandblow at Rainbow beach and viewed the coloured sands which gives Rainbow beach it's name. Maybe not quite as impressive as Fraser Island's sandblow trek on our way to Lake Wabby but still it made a good Saturday morning stroll. Now we are in Noosa which has a holiday atmosphere to it and attracts rich people...as well as us backpackers. This morning we went to the harbour's Sund...

From Airlie beach we drove to Makey and only spent one night there as Makey itself was nothing special. The following day we decided to take a drive down the Pioneer Valley where we stopped to look at the Broken River, which was a bit of a dissappointment due to the lack of a river worth seeing being there. However the day wasn't a complete waste...
